Back from a wonderful week in Paris. This beautiful, historic and perfectly rebellious city filled with incredible people is my new favorite destination in Europe.

Am I jealous that my role is behind a desk and not flying through the sky on @hiowaa.bsky.social’s gorgeous Airbus H135?

Yeah. Yeah I am.

Photo is one of hundreds of glorious photos by our Lead Dr, Simon.

The face of a man excited to pay a flying visit @hiowaa.bsky.social’s newest partners, @redfunnelferry.bsky.social, and one who is frozen to his very core. Chilly wind whipping up the Solent today.

Always a big moment when we discover this one in the Christmas decoration box. 🚁🎄

We get good sunrises here.

Thoroughly recommend following @hiowaa.bsky.social for your #hems #phem #airambulance #helicopter #aviation #hampshire #isleofwight #ukcharity needs.

I’m really proud of this one: As well as training every single member of our charity team in CPR and AED use, we now carry a defibrillator on all 7 of our charity vans. These vehicles cover thousands of miles each year, always out and about in the community we serve.

I’ve had the pleasure of looking after a mate’s Labrador this week. Safe to say my house is destroyed but Hattie enjoyed having a house guest.

This is always a highlight of my year… Our brilliant (and flight certified) photographer, Tim Wallace, has delivered a fresh batch of 300+ images showing our service in action.

Our crew were desperate for “real” photos, not cheesy grins and thumbs-up shots. Boy does he deliver the realism.

We love it when the swamp we live in turns to ice. Gorgeous few miles with this dafty to start the day.

My cousin clings tightly to her dolly as she knows the horror and brutality about to befall that cake.

Six years ago today: Stranded at the most dangerous airport in the world. We stayed in Lukla, Khumbu Valley for 3 days before the clouds parted for 5 minutes and we fought to get on the only plane out, which went nowhere near our intended destination of Kathmandu. Best adventure ever.

A blue sky photo for Bluesky.

We’ve had our photographer flying with us this week, and are looking forward to some incredible new images.

Twitter was an absolute bin and I couldn’t get to grips with Threads. Is Bluesky the one for me? Looking for the UK Charity, Salisbury and Hampshire people. I plan to use this for professional stuff but will probably only engage with videos of Golden Retrievers stealing food.
